Preschool
Creativity Brings Countless Things New into Being. Free Children to Be Creative!
Preschoolers are two years old while prekindergartners are three. Art and Social-Emotional Growth (to promote self-concept and self-acceptance, child-to-child relationships, social competence, child-to-teacher relationships, child-to-group relationships) and Art and Physical-Mental Growth (to promote art and motor development, art, and mental development) are mainly focused here. Besides, children will be on their pace taking part in kindergarten-readiness development areas: Creative Mathematics, Creative Language Experiences, and Creative Science.

APPROACHES AND METHODS
Interest-Based
Young children’s curiosities are cared for. Our preschool teachers design fun themes to reflect their interests.
Steam Corners
Different types of plays from solitary to small group projects and interactive smart toys are practiced here to let early age learners explore and acquire knowledge about Science, Technology (smart toys such as Music Blocks, LeapPad, Pixter, Question-Air and GeoSaferi Talking Microscope), Engineering or Entrepreneurship, Arts or Architecture, and Mathematics.
Refresh Time
The average concentration span of most early age children usually lasts between 15 and 30 minutes; therefore, Physical Education and Arts Education serve best for children to recharge and refocus.
Confidence Boosting
While being in socioemotional education and Arts Education, in-person visits of parents, school principal, administrators, firefighters, police officers, gardeners, farmers encourage cross age communication on different topics from which young children acquire new knowledge and gradually build self-confidence.
THE WORLD TIME
Knowledge exists not only in classrooms but everywhere. Twice per academic year, early age learners enjoy trips to visit and explore new awareness hidden behind different parts of their community.
